Itinerary
This is the assembly point of your tour. If you opted for hotel pickup we will bring you here before the start. Quick introduction to the team and review of the itinerary. You can also store luggage on our premises if you so desire.
Visit Kuldhara - village established in 13th century and abandoned in 19th century most probably because of water shortages.
Visit picturesque Khaba Fort located on a hill overlooking the area.
With an exciting jeep ride you'll reach our desert camp from where your two hours camel safari starts. Every participant will have a one camel to fully enjoy the ride and unobstructed views of the desert. Watching the sunset from the dunes is an unforgettable experience. As the sun sets, the sky and sands change colours to create one brilliant spectacle. The air becomes chillier and it seems as if the whole desert is preparing for the night. Keep your eyes open because sunset is also one of the best times to spot wildlife. As night emerges you can see the starry sky without any light pollution. After blissfull time in the desert and with plenty of amazing pictures to share with your friends you will now head back to our desert resort to continue enjoying the time of your life. You will be warmly welcomed with tea and snacks while at the same time culture show begins. Every evening we have some of the best musicians and dancers from the area to perform traditional folk music and dance just for you. They will make sure it is a night to remember and you will be encouraged to participate and dance the night away. The rhythm is hard to resist. Snacks are served and fully equipped bar service is available. In the meantime your appetite will grow and our chefs will make sure that your taste buds are satisfied. For dinner you will have a buffet table set up with local delicacies. Food is prepared using only the freshest local ingredients. A bonfire is kept going throughout the evening, so you will not feel cold. Our driver will take you back safely to Jaisalmer by 10 pm latest.

It was absolutely a beautiful day! Khabir and Abdullah were very caring, kind and very good company! We discovered 2 very beautiful villages, thanks to khabir and always with a smile! then road trip in the desert with impeccable driving! We enjoyed a Chai at sunset! Just magical! Then evening in a traditional dance camp, where we love being the only tourists, very local! Thanks for all that! That was great! We highly recommend!
Good organization that allows to visit three squares in the desert before reaching the place of the festivities. Very helpful and attentive driver, speaking English. The show lasts more than an hour and the buffet is fine. The sunset is not exceptional but it remains a good value for money.
Tour guide was lovely, considerate, and accommodating. Transport was comfortable and pick up/drop off easy. The itinerary was seamless and well organised. Camel ride was lovely and desert show and food great!
Great experience for an afternoon and evening in the desert. Sunset in the dunes and dinner show. Proper food and folk show. The sifu welcome is perfect and our Kabyr driver were excellent and very nice.
Very punctual in pickup, the experience in riding camel was one, especially when up. Good food, the.show good and we even danced. Highly recommended.
Super comfortable tents. Professionals on site are very welcoming s. Excellent food. Beautiful evening of dances and music shared with very friendly Indian groups. A very good address.
For $49 / £38 per person, the experience was lacking. The description implied so much more - there was no debrief or review of itinerary at the start. In fact we never met anyone from the organising team at all. We only had a driver accompanying us (who was nice). There was no jeep transportation despite the description. There was no mention in itinerary that we would be in fact taken to Khuri, Pal Rajah resort (you can book directly with them, they’re nice). There was no bonfire either. Really disappointing experience overall and complete lack of care from the organiser despite spending a fortune when I was looking forward to the desert experience the most in Jaisalmer.
Dear Madam, Namaste 🙏. We respect your opinion and really appreciate that you said our Jeep driver is nice and our Desert Camp Pal Rajah Resort is nice. What else is bad then???? Further Madam please note that we do not work alone, it's totally cumulative work. We need driver, camels and a genuine camp and staff too. Although we offer various camel safari itineraries and camp stay and activities are also part of our work. Also please note from Vaitor where you booked and till a camel man everyone has their profit in our work, so prices or costing decide after giving part to everyone. Also it came into our notice that you already booked your dinner somewhere but your dinner is included in the safari booked by you. It was a frustration point of you which is not our fault at all. Anyway thank you for sharing your feedback and we tried our best to satisfy you by our reply. With due respect to you and with best regards, Om Kewaliya Owner Fifu Camel Safaris Jaisalmer.
Great time, very nice welcome, little care for us. Camel ride, evening show with musicians and a beautiful dancer, accompanied by a delicious typical meal
Our guide Khabir was outstanding. His knowledge of the local culture, village life and the stops he made added richly to our experience. The camel ride and sunset on the dunes were also great memories.
It was great picked up from the hotel departure by jeep driver pleasant camel ride 1 hour Magnificent vegetarian meals cooked with them on a wood fire, no sunset but authentic to make, I recommend great sharing🥰
